Month: September 2021

JAMES HORAN HAS named his starting XV for today’s meeting with Down in round two of the All-Ireland qualifiers at Páirc Esler [throw-in 7pm].

The Mayo boss makes five changes from the side which fell victim to a Connacht semi-final exit against Roscommon at MacHale Park at the end of May.

The long-serving Andy Moran, David Clarke and Colm Boyle all return alongside Conor Loftus and Fionn McDonagh, with Matthew Ruane, Rob Hennelly, Fergal Boland, Evan Regan and Michael Plunkett dropping out.

A dramatic late score from Fintan Cregg saw the Rossies prevail in Castlebar on 25 May, the loss proving to be Horan’s first provincial defeat in his last 13 outings.

It ensures Mayo will need to battle through the qualifiers for the fourth year in succession, this evening facing a Down side who overcame Tipperary 1-13 to 1-10 in Newry a fortnight ago.

ANDY MCENTEE HAS named an unchanged Meath team to face nine in-a-row chasing Dublin in tomorrow’s Leinster SFC final at Croke Park [throw-in 4pm, live on RTÉ].

The Royals are set for their first Leinster final since 2014, challenging Jim Gavin’s men at HQ after beating Laois by 11 points in the semi-final. 

Bryan Menton (two) and Mickey Newman bagged the goals that day and they both start once again, as does James Conlon who impressed in the forward line. Although there are some positional changes across the board, the same starting 15 will take to the field tomorrow.

Meath will be hoping to push on once again after recently returning to Division 1 for the first time in 13 years, but they face an uphill battle against Dublin, who are bidding for their 14th provincial title in 15 seasons.

15 players in 15 seconds!

The exception was 2010, where Meath sent them packing in the semi-finals before beating Louth after a controversial ending in the decider.

In 2014, Meath suffered a 3-20 to 1-10 hammering at the hands of the Dubs, so they’ll be hoping for a better outcome on this occasion with the Delaney Cup on the line.

Dublin are yet to name their team.

Kildare 1-25
Antrim 0-14

Robert Cribbin reports from Corrigan Pakk

KILDRARE GOT THEIR summer back on track with a facile All-Ireland SFC qualifier victory over Antrim in Corrigan Park.

Kildare came into the game on the back of a heavy defeat at the hands of Dublin in the Leinster semi-final but they were much too good for Antrim on the day.

Adam Tyrrell and Neil Flynn scored 0-15 between them and along with Fergal Conway they were the stars in victory for Cian O’Neill’s outfit.

Antrim never led as Kildare showed the gulf between the sides in the end.

Kildare wasted no time in getting acquainted to the picturesque venue of Corrigan Park as they kicked the opening three points of the game with a long range free from Flynn followed by two Tyrrell efforts with the Moorefield man’s first score coming from a wayward Antrim kickout.

It took nine minutes for Antrim to get on the board but they very nearly found the net when a long ball in the direction of the Kildare square was flicked towards the goal by Stephen Beatty but his attempt went too high.

Patrick McBride looked lively for the Saffrons up front and he soon reduced the gap with a point from a difficult angle.

The sides then exchanged scores with Mick O’Grady getting forward for Kildare with James McAuley responding in kind.

Cian O’Neill’s side did suffer a blow when Chris Healy was black carded for an apparent third man tackle but with the introduction of Jimmy Hyland, Kildare duly scored seven points in-a-row.

Flynn and Tyrrell were causing pandemonium in the Antrim defence and the two combined for a couple of efforts with Flynn landing three and Tyrrell two in a storming period of football for the visitors.

Kevin Feely was also on target while Keith Cribbin looked on for goal before he had an effort well blocked.

Antrim were staring down the depths of despair but they added on two Conor Murray frees either side of a McBride score.

Kildare were well worth their lead though and Flynn and Jimmy Hyland kicked scores before the end of the half as Kildare went into the interval with a 0-13 to 0-6 advantage.

Antrim threw out their rather defensive tactics at the start of the second half and it worked briefly with points coming from Conor Murray and Matthew Fitzpatrick.

A goal is what the Northerners needed however and unfortunately for them it was their opposition that got it, with Fergal Conway rattling the net minutes after Flynn and Jimmy Hyland kicked points.

It was all plain sailing from there for Kildare with Tyrrell, Flynn, Conway and Kevin Feely all kicking points at their leisure.

McBride finished with six points for Antrim and they stayed competitive to the end but it was Kildare’s day as subs Tommy Moolick and Jason Gibbons emerged from the bench to put the gloss on the fourteen point success.

Scorers for Kildare: Neil Flynn 0-8 (0-3fs), Adam Tyrrell 0-7 (0-4fs), Fergal Conway 1-2, Jimmy Hyland 0-3, Kevin Feely 0-2, Mick O’Grady 0-1, Tommy Moolick 0-1, Jason Gibbons 0-1.

Kerry 3-14
Cork 2-14

Denis Hurley reports from Páirc Uí Chaoimh

KERRY MADE IT seven Electric Ireland Munster MFC titles in succession with victory over Cork at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday evening, but they had to work hard for it.

Having won by 3-19 to 1-9 when the sides met at Páirc Uí Rinn in the round-robin stage, the Kingdom were resounding favourites but a battling Cork performance kept them in contention and they were level after a point from captain Conor Corbett in the 59th minute.

However, Kerry had an immediate reply through sub Emmet O’Shea and captain Jack O’Connor and Darragh Lynch had clinching points.

The first half was a very lively affair. While Kerry forged an early 0-3 to 0-1 lead – with Dylan Geaney only denied a goal by an Aaron O’Brien save – Cork found their stride with a well-worked goal as Hugh Murphy, Patrick Campbell and Jack Cahalane combined to set up midfielder Kelane Scannell.

While Geaney replied, Cork threatened another goal with Kerry centre-back Adam Curran having to make a goal-line block from Ryan O’Donovan and the Rebels did find the net again in the ninth minute.

It came after another lovely piece of football, though there was an element of good fortune as Campbell’s low ball across goal went in off a defender. At the other end, Gearóid Hassett and Kevin Goulding both had chances for a Kerry response in kind, denied by Neil Loran and goalkeeper O’Brien respectively.

The lead stretched to four points at one stage, but Kerry finished the half strongly. After a Seán O’Brien point brought them back to within three, 2-4 to 0-7, Kerry won the kickout and Geaney set up Colin Crowley for a goal, with O’Connor putting them in front.

While Ryan O’Donovan levelled with a Cork free, Kerry struck for another goal, Geaney netting after Goulding set him up.

They led by 2-8 to 2-6 at half-time and though Corbett had the first point of the second half, O’Brien had to save from Crowley to deny Kerry a third goal before the Kingdom did strike again.

Wing-back Seán O’Brien was the instigator of the move, exchanging passes with Dylan Geaney before allowing Goulding a close-range finish for a 3-8 to 2-7 lead. A couple of Jack O’Connor dead balls ensured they stayed ahead but Cork refused to wilt, with Corbett and Patrick Campbell on target before a pair of long-range efforts from sub Michael O’Neill had them within a point, 3-11 to 1-13, with three minutes left.

Corbett’s free levelled on 59, but Kerry had an extra kick in them to ensure victory.

Scorers for Kerry: Jack O’Connor 0-5 (0-2 45, 0-2 frees), Dylan Geaney 1-2, Kevin Goulding, Colin Crowley 1-1 each, Gearóid Hassett 0-2, Darragh Lynch, Seán O’Brien, Emmet O’Shea 0-1 each.

ON ANOTHER BUSY Saturday of GAA action across the length and breadth of the country, there were All-Ireland SFC qualifier wins for Laois, Westmeath and Clare as the curtain came down on Derry, Limerick and Leitrim’s respective 2019 campaigns.

Laois were four-point winners over Derry in Owenbeg in the earliest of the three throw-ins, knocking the hosts out of the All-Ireland championship and booking their place in Monday’s third round qualifier draw. 

Although Derry started brighter, Laois punished them for a lacklustre second half with substitute Eoin Lowry’s 66th-minute goal proving decisive.

After a flawless league campaign in which they landed the Division 4 title and a short summer, the Oak Leaf men now go back to the drawing board for 2020 while 2018 Leinster finalists Laois march on.

TEG Cusack Park played host to the meeting of Westmeath and Limerick, with the Midlanders running out six-point winners on home soil.

To Limerick’s credit, they battled gamely but a scoring blitz from Westmeath either side of half time sent them on their way. James Dolan rattled the net to leave the scoreboard reading 1-9 to 0-5 at the interval. 

And just seconds into the new period, Joe Halligan bagged another goal to send the hosts 10 points clear. Limerick staged a brave fightback but with John Heslin sprung from the bench, Westmeath kicked back into gear and held on for the win.

And Clare ended Leitrim’s year with a nine-point win in Carrick on Shannon; Jamie Malone, Gary Brennan and Eimhin Courtney’s goals the difference in the end.

While Leitrim’s heroic 2019 Lory Meagher champions were presented to the crowd at half time after their win in Croke Park earlier, it wasn’t just as memorable a day for the county’s footballers.

Colm Collins’ Banner impressed on the other hand as they pushed on from a 2-12 to 0-6 half-time lead to win the game out and progress to Monday’s all-important draw. While Malone and Brennan combined for 2-5, Eoin Cleary chipped in with 0-6 and David Tubridy accounted for 0-5.

Results

• Derry 0-12 Laois 1-13
• Westmeath 2-13 Limerick 1-10
• Leitrim 0-17 Clare 3-17

Tyrone 2-15 
Longford 1-14

Kevin Egan reports from Glennon Brothers Pearse Park

IT WAS COMFORTABLE, it was efficient, and it was far more commanding than the final four-point winning margin would suggest.

Tyrone’s performance in Longrod tonight wasn’t without flaws, but given the long history of talented sides travelling to this venue and seeing their championship hopes blown out of the water by a county known as a qualifier specialist, Mickey Harte will be quietly contented having seen his team negotiate this hurdle so professionally.

To get a true picture of how dominant the Red Hand was here, consider that Longford posted 1-3 in second-half injury time to cut the lead from 10 points to four, at a time when it seemed as if the Ulster county were mentally in the showers and thinking about next weekend.

There was some hope of an upset among the home contingent within the 4,162 supporters that attended this game after the first minute, when Joseph Hagan dispossessed Tyrone and then set up Daniel Mimnagh for a point.

For the rest of the half Longford didn’t score from play, Tyrone took advantage of two errors from Paddy Collum to poach two goals, and turnovers in possession were few and far between. Michael Cassidy, one of five players drafted in to start from the team that lined out against Donegal, got Tyrone off the mark with a lovely point on the run and Peter Harte followed up with two frees, chipped over either side of McShane’s first goal.

A weak kickout from Collum went straight to Niall Sludden and he fed McShane, whose first attempt was blocked by Donal McElligott before he found the net at the second attempt.

Longford settled into the game with a couple of frees from David McGivney, but they were rocked a second time just before the midway point in the half when Michael Cassidy hung in a high ball and Collum hesitated, allowing McShane to get a decisive touch and put seven points between the sides.

For their part, Tyrone will worry about their lack of forward penetration. 2-11 of their 2-15 total came from two players (Harte and McShane) with two more from substitute Ben McDonnell and a point each from defenders Hugh Pat McGeary and Adrian Cassidy. Put that another way – 11 Tyrone players at midfield and attack played nearly 400 minutes between them, without raising a flag. In the absence of a Longford goal threat however – and some great work in the air from Niall Morgan ensured there was little or none – meant that was never going to be an issue here though.

The home side did pick off some nice scores from distance through Colm P Smyth and Michael Quinn after half time, but Tyrone still kept them at arm’s length with little difficulty, moving ten clear when McDonnell came on to fire two late scores. That lead was savaged in injury time, but as late comebacks go, this one was entirely cosmetic.

Scorers for Tyrone: Peter Harte 0-9 (0-7 frees), Cathal McShane 2-2, Ben McDonnell 0-2, Michael Cassidy & Hugh Pat McGeary 0-1 each.

Scorers for Longford: David McGivney 0-4 frees, Colm P Smyth 0-3, Iarla O’Sullivan 1-0, Barry McKeon (0-1f) & Michael Quinn 0-2 each, Daniel Mimnagh, Joseph Hagan & Shane Kenny 0-1 each.

Kerry 1-19
Cork 3-10

Fintan O’Toole reports from Páirc Uí Chaoimh

KERRY’S STRANGLEHOLD ON Munster football continues but only after a major second-half examination tonight as Cork pushed the champions to the wire.

Kerry shipped three goals, saw Cork draw level and lost marquee forward Paul Geaney to a red card in the 54th minute. But their 14 men showed the necessary poise and accuracy in the closing stages with the Kenmare duo of Sean O’Shea and Stephen O’Brien landing vital points, along with substitute Micheál Burns.

The match exploded into life after interval, Cork piercing the Kerry cover for a pair of goals in the space of a ten minute window. Midfielder Killian O’Hanlon charged through the cover before being hauled down and Luke Connolly banged home the resultant penalty with conviction in the 38th minute.

Then Brian Hurley got in on the act for Cork, flicking home a looping delivery from Ian Maguire after Shane Ryan had approached to leave the Kerry goalmouth unattended. Suddenly Cork were level with 47 minutes on the clock, 1-12 to 3-6, and the locals in a sparsely populated Páirc Uí Chaoimh found their voice.

However Cork could never quite forge ahead on the scoreboard and Kerry were able to stave off the drive of a home team that were vastly improved on their meek showing at this stage last summer.

Cork looked for a solid start to settle them into the game, instead there was the sight of Kerry crashing the ball to their net in the 6th minute. Sean O’Shea careered into a channel of space and offloaded to Tom O’Sullivan who smashed his shot past goalkeeper Mark White. That put Kerry in front 1-2 to 0-0, by the 13th minute the advantage had swelled to 1-5 to 0-1.

It looked precarious for Cork yet they managed to generate plenty of attacks for the remainder of the half. The problem was not creating chances, it was converting them. Ruairi Deane saw one effort cannon off the body of Shane Ryan, Tadhg Morley made a desperate lunge to deny Mark Collins at another stage. 

In the 19th minute they did raise a green flag, a chaotic passage of play saw the ball ping around the goalmouth before Deane flicked into the path of Connolly who palmed home. It proved to be Cork’s only effort from play in the half with a quartet of frees from Collins supplying their other scores.

Kerry retired at the break with an advantage of 1-10 to 1-4 and could easily have bumped up those scoring totals. Gavin White’s lung-bursting run down the heart of the Cork rearguard culminated in a shot drilled straight at Mark White. Cork endured a few another nervy moments before clearing their lines. 

Trailing by six at the break meant Cork were still in contention and they made a forceful push to haul Kerry back in the second half. Ultimately the attacking class of Peter Keane’s charges told, Clifford a perfect focal point in the frantic finale and O’Brien claimed the man-of-the-match honour as he helped propel Kerry into the Super 8s.

Scorers for Kerry: Sean O’Shea 0-8 (0-6f), David Clifford 0-4 (0-1f), Tom O’Sullivan 1-1, Stephen O’Brien 0-2, Diarmuid O’Connor, Paul Geaney, Dara Moynihan, Micheál Burns 0-1 each.

Armagh 2-17
Monaghan 1-12

John Fallon reports from Clones

ARMAGH SENT ALL-Ireland semi-finalists Monaghan crashing out of the 2019 championship with a deserved success at St Tiernach’s Park.

Monaghan were always chasing the game in their own backyard and could have few complaints as Kieran McGeeney’s men triumphed.

It was a rock solid performance from Armagh who will gain huge confidence from the manner of this win.

The sides were level six times in the opening half but Armagh, playing against the breeze, went in leading by 0-11 to 0-10 at the break thanks to an effort from the right by Andrew Murnin.

Jamie Clarke was a constant thorn in the Monaghan defence and was involved in most of their scores before picking off a good point himself approaching the interval to tie the sides for the fifth time.

There were level three times in the opening eight minutes but Armagh, playing some lovely passing football, opened up a 0-8 to 0-5 lead after 22 minutes in an opening half where they had ten scorers.

Wing-forward Jemar Hall was the only Armagh player to score twice but goalkeeper Rory Beggan led the Monaghan response with a couple of 45’s, while Conor McManus landed some trademark scores to draw level just before the half hour.

Michael Bannigan edged Monaghan in front but Clarke responded as Armagh held the advantage at the break.

They increased that lead to a goal inside five minutes of the restart with efforts from Niall Grimley and Jarlath Og Burns, while Monaghan’s task got more difficult when Kieran Duffy picked up a black card.

Then Armagh broke from deep to fire home the opening goal when Rian O’Neill finished to the net after Aidan Nugent’s effort was blocked to make it 1-14 to 0-10 after 50 minutes.

There was no way back for Monaghan after that, with O’Neill getting his second goal after being set up by Clarke after 59 minutes to lead by 2-15 to 0-11, although Jack McCarron got a late consolation goal for Monaghan.

MALACHY O’ROURKE HAS stepped down as Monaghan boss after seven years in charge of the county. 

O’Rourke announced his decision shortly after their All-Ireland SFC qualifier round 2 exit to Armagh this evening. He led the county to famous Ulster title wins in 2013 and 2015.

The Farney reached the last four of the All-Ireland series in 2018 but failed to reach those heights this season.
